Case Study

Nick, a bike mechanic at Bicycle Recycling (BR) has been with BR since the start in October 2012. Motiv8 set up BR to help give young people training, work experience and jobs. Nick, a keen BMXer, started as an apprentice and has worked hard, built up his confidence and learned his trade, and is now a skilled mechanic. Since the Gosport Community Cycle Centre opened, Nick has been at the forefront of creating a friendly and knowledgeable atmosphere as well as being technically competent to service all makes of bike. He has deputised in the manager’s absence, led volunteers and staff, and is a real asset to BR and to Motiv8.
